Elesa+Ganter 114185-KN Electrical Column Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114185-KN electrical column level indicator is designed for industrial fluid monitoring systems requiring visual inspection and normally closed electrical signaling. The technical designation HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NC-KN defines a protected HCK.176 series configuration suitable for hydraulic and lubrication environments.

Industrial Fluid Monitoring Advantages

Industrial reservoirs require reliable monitoring to maintain system efficiency and reduce mechanical risk. The HCK.176 design allows operators to inspect liquid levels directly while simultaneously integrating the NC contact system into machine controls and alarm structures.

Why NC Contact Systems Matter

The normally closed contact logic is often selected in applications where fault monitoring is important. When the minimum level point is reached, the circuit changes state and communicates the condition to the monitoring system. This helps maintenance teams react before lubrication or hydraulic damage occurs.

Durable Construction and Materials

The Elesa+Ganter 114185-KN electrical column level indicator uses FKM sealing technology for improved resistance against industrial oils and elevated temperatures. The GL glass tube supports long-term visibility, while the polycarbonate protective section reduces accidental damage risk in exposed machine installations.

Common Industrial Installations

This model is associated with hydraulic power units, lubrication systems, industrial automation equipment and machine reservoirs requiring dependable low-level monitoring. The combination of visual and electrical monitoring helps improve maintenance planning and operational control.
